Annual Report on the Administration of the Access to Information Act 2019-2020
Table of contents
Introduction
The Access to Information Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, Chapter A-1, 1985) was proclaimed on July 1, 1983, giving Canadian citizens and permanent residents the right to access information contained in government records, subject to certain specific and limited exceptions.
The Access to Information Act (the Act) gives Canadian citizens, as well as people and corporations present in Canada, the right to access federal government records that are not of a personal nature. The Act complements, but does not replace, other procedures for obtaining government information. It is not intended to limit, in any way, the access to government information that is normally available to the public upon request.
This annual report describes how the Canada School of Public Service (the School) administered its responsibilities under the Act during the 2019-2020 fiscal year. This report is tabled in Parliament in accordance with section 94 of the Act.
The School acts much like a corporate training and development institution for its client organizations. It supports common public-service learning at all levels nationwide and across more than 90 federal departments and agencies, while federal organizations focus on mandate-specific training and development. It has a legislative mandate to provide a range of learning activities to build individual and organizational capacity and management excellence within the public service.
Under its Departmental Results Framework, the School has one core responsibility to provide common learning to all employees of the core public service to serve Canadians with excellence.
Established on April 1, 2004, under the Public Service Modernization Act and operating under the authority of the Canada School of Public Service Act (CSPS Act), the School's primary responsibility is to provide a range of learning opportunities and develop a learning culture within the public service.
The School, a departmental corporation, is mandated under the CSPS Act to:
- encourage pride and excellence in the public service
- foster a common sense of purpose, values and traditions in the public service
- support deputy heads in meeting the learning needs of their organizations
- pursue excellence in public management and administration
The School supports deputy head accountabilities with respect to leadership and professional development across the public service by identifying organizational needs and designing and delivering high-quality, practical programs that address the key development requirements of public service employees.
Organizational structure and access to information and privacy responsibilities
The School's access to information and privacy (ATIP) activities are primarily carried out by the ATIP, Parliamentary and Cabinet Affairs, and Special Projects Unit. This unit reports to the Director General of Communications and Engagement and is led by a manager, who is the School's ATIP coordinator, 1 ATIP Advisor, as well as 1 student.
In addition to its activities related to parliamentary affairs and government accountability, the responsibilities of the School's ATIP, Parliamentary and Cabinet Affairs, and Special Projects Unit include the following:
- processing requests for information submitted under the Access to Information Act and requests for personal information pursuant to the Privacy Act in accordance with legislation, regulations and Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) policies and guidelines
- responding to ATIP consultations received from other government institutions and organizations
- providing advice and guidance to requesters on the application of ATIP legislation, as well as promoting awareness and training to School employees
- cooperating with the Office of the Information Commissioner and with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner on the resolution of complaints
- reviewing departmental documents prior to their proactive disclosure on the School's website
- ensuring that the School's information holdings (classes of records and personal information banks) are published in Info Source
- preparing the statistical reports and the annual reports on the administration of the Access to Information Act and on the administration of the Privacy Act
- participating in ATIP community activities, such as the Treasury Board Secretariat-led ATIP coordinators' and ATIP practitioners' meetings and working groups
Delegation of authority
In June 2019, the School's President delegated full authority for the purposes of the Act to the Director General of Communications and Engagement; and to the ATIP, Parliamentary and Cabinet Affairs, and Special Projects Unit's manager, as the ATIP Coordinator. A copy of the signed delegation instrument for the Act, which took effect on June 17, 2019,is included as Annex A.
Interpretation of the Statistical Report on the Access to Information Act for 2019-2020
The following outlines the information contained in the Statistical Report on the Access to Information Act for 2019-2020, which is included as Annex B.
Requests received under the Act, consultations, and informal requests
Between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2020, the School received 30 new requests for information under the Act. The School also had 9 outstanding requests from the previous reporting period. Thirty-six requests were completed, and 3 were carried over to the next reporting year.
In addition, the School received 22 consultation requests under the Act from other government institutions, involving records of potential interest to the School. The School also had no outstanding requests from the previous reporting period. All of these consultation requests were completed during the reporting period, with a total of 804 pages reviewed. Recommendations were provided within the time set by the consulting government institutions. Of the consultation requests, 18 (82%) were disclosed in full, 3 (14%) were disclosed in part, and 1 (4%) was identified as other.
Disposition of completed requests
There were 12 requests (33%) that resulted in full disclosure to the applicant. In 18 cases (50%), some information was withheld in accordance with the Act's exemption provisions. In 6 cases (17%), the requested records did not exist.
Source of requests received
The most common sources of requests were the general public sector with 21 requests (70%), private sector (business) with 8 requests (27%), followed by organization, which had 1 request (3%).
Completion time and extensions on completed requests
There were 22 requests (61%) processed in 30 days or less, 4 requests (11%) requiring up to 60 days to process.
An extension beyond the initial 30 days is permitted if responding to the request would require a search through a large volume of records and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with operations, or if consultations are required. The School claimed an extension on 13 of the requests completed in 2019-2020. The extensions were required for operational reasons (workload pressures) and a consultation process.
During the reporting period, the School was able to meet its deadline for 33 requests.
Exemptions and exclusions
Exemptions and exclusions are the only grounds to withhold information found in records that are requested under the Access to Information Act. Their application is limited and specific, as stipulated in the Act.
For requests where an exemption was invoked, the most frequently applied provisions were those of Subsection 19(1), which protects personal information pertaining to individuals other than the requester, Section 20, which provides for the withholding of confidential third-party information, and Section 21, which protects certain classes of information about the internal decision-making processes of government, the disclosure of which could interfere with the operations of government institutions.
The Act indicates that certain types of materials are excluded from its application, specifically, records that are already available to the public (Section 68) and Cabinet confidences (Section 69). The School invoked 1 exclusion under Section 69 during the reporting period.
Format of information released
The School provided records electronically in 30 cases (83%) and no records existed in 6 cases (17%).
Relevant pages disclosed
A total of 23,799 pages were reviewed by staff during the reporting period, with 11,023 of these pages resulting in disclosure (in full or in part) to requesters. The remaining 12,776 pages were either withheld pursuant to exemptions under the Act, or were not relevant.

Reporting on Access to Information fees for the purposes of the Service Fees Act
The Service Fees Act requires a responsible authority to report annually to Parliament on the fees collected by the institution.
With respect to fees collected under the Access to Information Act, the information below is reported in accordance with the requirements of section 20 of the Service Fees Act.
The Act authorizes fees for certain activities related to the processing of formal requests. Current fees are specified in the Access to Information Regulations.
The School collected $150 in fees, as permitted by the Act and its regulations. No fees were waived in 2019-2020.
Costs
Salary costs related to the administration of the Access to Information Act incurred by the ATIP, Parliamentary and Cabinet Affairs, and Special Projects Unit are estimated at $54,024. Overhead and maintenance costs are estimated at $24,583 for a total of $78,607.
Training and awareness
The ATIP, Parliamentary and Cabinet Affairs, and Special Projects Unit informs and guides employees and requesters regarding the requirements of the Access to Information Act through ongoing dialogue and informal discussions. During the reporting period, the ATIP, Parliamentary and Cabinet Affairs, and Special Projects Unit employees responded to inquiries from employees and senior management, providing advice and guidance on various subjects pertaining to the Act.
A dedicated section on the School's intranet site provides School employees and ATIP liaison officers with key information on ATIP and reiterates employee accountability for ensuring that personal information is handled in accordance with the Act. However, no formal training activities were provided during the reporting period.
New procedures, guidelines and directives
The School did not implement new or revised access to information policies, guidelines or procedures in 2019-2020.
The School continues to post summaries of completed access to information requests on its website.
Complaints
The School received 4 new complaints by the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) in 2019-2020. The OIC concluded that 1 complaint was founded.
Monitoring time to process
Since the School is a small institution with a relatively low number of requests in comparison with other institutions, senior management is kept informed of the time to process access to information requests by means of a weekly report and through ongoing verbal briefings. ATIP staff meet to discuss the weekly report with the Director General of Communications and Engagement, in the President's Office. This report is also shared and discussed with the President, Vice-Presidents and Directors General on a weekly basis.
